Run a self-updating personal wiki with three Grok Bots
Based on Karpathy's second brain idea, he runs three Grok Bots in one group chat: a reader saves every link, PDF and voice note to raw/, a librarian rewrites the 10 to 15 wiki pages each new source affects, and a checker hunts for contradictions every night.
Make a custom math game for your child with Grok Bot
A parent turned one idea, a math game built around his 8-year-old's love of vet shows, into an animal rescue game where she works out medicine doses and makes care decisions. Grok Bot helped with the outline, script, artwork and gameplay and then built it; he never saw code.
Run an email course for new users with a Grok Bot
A Grok Bot fan built a beginner class for new Grok Bot users and had his own Grok Bot send the lesson emails. The lessons are written to be simple, and the page lets readers change the text size.
Build a second brain from three Grok Bots in one group chat
A builder set up three Grok Bots in one group chat, each with one job. A reader stores every voice note, PDF, email and link he drops without changing a word, a librarian rewrites the wiki pages they touch, and the system reminds him what he forgot.
